Speed skating is a competitive form of ice skating in which the competitors race each other over set distances on skates. There are two disciplines of speed skating in the Olympic Games, long-track speed skating which is usually referred to as just “speed skating”, while short-track speed skating is known as “short track”.
The ISU governing body of competitive ice sports, refers to long track as “speed skating” and short track as “short track skating”.
